Persona non grata with his colleagues for continually destroying his lab, and picked upon by the students, Professor Kelp creates a potion that physically transforms him into his polar opposite. Kelp's alter ego, Buddy Love, is suave, sophisticated and a big hit with the students, especially Stella Purdy, with whom Love becomes amorously entangled. But the price for the Professor's new-found popularity is an extraordinary arrogance, and a tendency for the effects of his potion to wear off at the most inopportune times. How will Love's new buddies react when Kelp's secret is out?

Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (Science Fiction Series) PG certificate
Mike Hodges' film is a gloriously kitsch update of the 1930s comic strip and film series, starring Sam J Jones as the American football star Flash Gordon, who's transported with the beautiful Dale Arden by Dr Zarkov into the realm of the most evil ruler in the universe, the Emperor Ming. Only by uniting those under Ming's merciless rule to join his revolution can Flash save Earth from destruction. The unashamedly over-the-top Queen soundtrack is matched by Danilo Donati's effervescent production design, and the film also stars Brian Blessed as the chief of the Hawkmen, Timothy Dalton as the leader of the Treemen, and Ornella Muti as Ming's daughter, whose lascivious designs on Flash are just one of the challenges he must overcome if he's to end Ming's tyranny.

The Fourth Kind (Film) Film icon 3 star rating 15 certificate
As Spielberg taught the world in his 1977 blockbuster, the third kind of alien encounter is contact. Apparently the fourth kind is abduction, and Olatunde Osunsanmi's sci-fi thriller purports to tell the story of what happened to a number of people who disappeared in Nome, Alaska. Based on real events, the film juxtaposes supposedly archive footage of therapy sessions with dramatic reconstructions as Dr Abigail Tyler investigates the uncanny similarities in the testimony of a number of her insomniac patients. A split screen format is used to establish a sense of authenticity, and fans of the genre should find sufficient jolts and paranoia to satisfy their appetites.

Based on the bestselling-but-disputed 'true story' by Polish army lieutenant Slavomir Rawicz, Peter Weir's epic adventure tells the story of a group of prisoners escaping from a Siberian gulag in 1940 and making their way 4000 miles to India. Polish prisoner Janusz is the leader, and among his group are the cynical 'Mr Smith', Yugoslavian accountant Zoran and Colin Farrell's gangster Valka, who is escaping gambling debts as much as the prison itself. Once they're out, they're joined by Polish orphan Irena, but the bitterly inhospitable Siberian landscape presents the group with challenges far more formidable than breaching the prison walls. Weir brings the battle of humans versus elements to visceral life, and the compelling drama has a truly panoramic scope. Edited for content.

The Fourth Kind (Film) Film icon 3 star rating 15 certificate
As Spielberg taught the world in his 1977 blockbuster, the third kind of alien encounter is contact. Apparently the fourth kind is abduction, and Olatunde Osunsanmi's sci-fi thriller purports to tell the story of what happened to a number of people who disappeared in Nome, Alaska. Based on real events, the film juxtaposes supposedly archive footage of therapy sessions with dramatic reconstructions as Dr Abigail Tyler investigates the uncanny similarities in the testimony of a number of her insomniac patients. A split screen format is used to establish a sense of authenticity, and fans of the genre should find sufficient jolts and paranoia to satisfy their appetites.
Director: Olatunde Osunsanmi
Starring: Milla Jovovich, Will Patton, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Corey Johnson, Enzo Cilenti, Elias Koteas

However, Julia is convinced that something more sinister was to blame - and she sets out to discover the truth.

Double Indemnity (Film) Film icon 5 star rating PG certificate
Billy Wilder's classic, Oscar-nominated film noir stars Fred MacMurray as insurance agent Walter Neff. While making a policy renewal call, Neff meets the luminous, seductive blonde Phyllis Dietrichson. Soon, the pair are involved in a passionate affair, but it can only be consummated after her husband's death. The murder goes ahead but Neff's boss, Barton Keyes, has a niggling doubt about paying out on the policy, causing Walter and Phyllis's passion to slowly sour. Told in flashback through Neff's narrative, the hard-edged, cynical tone matched the mood of the period and, while the censorious Hays Code is followed to the letter, the glimpse of Phyllis's ankle bracelet was one of the era's enduring erotic images.
